  I hereby submit my application for DM to "DD, uploading" status.
  After four years of Debian contributions, and three years as DM, I
  believe it is clear that my continuing involvement is long-term.  A
  brief résumé of my activities post-DM application are:
    1. Increased involvement in our Emacsen Team.
       * Including mentoring new members and sponsoring their work.
    2. Joining the DPMT and PAPT, less involvement than planned with the
       Multimedia Team.  Slow progress with the QT/KDE Team, slow
       progress with the Boot/Installer team.  Slow progress with my
       plans for better btrfs integration.
    4. Increased familiarity and experience with package orphaning,
       adoption, NMUs, and salvaging.
    5. Experience with coping with the massive volumes of email and
       ever-expanding TODO list; notmuch and org-mode have proven
       invaluable to this end.
    6. A record of healthy and positive interactions with upstream
       projects, and with the general Debian community outside of the
       teams that I am part of; this includes a variety of participation
       on the BTS, and various mailing lists.
    7. Gained a solid understanding about the relation between technical
       decisions and Policy, consensus, the diversity of opinions in how
       packaging is done, et al...and about how all this is related to
       the discussions on -devel, the sponsorship process, how the
       accumulation of decisions informs Policy, and much more.
    8. Remained optimistic about the project, its ideals, and the
       realisation of these ideals, despite a lot of political and
       social ugliness in the last year.
    9. Learned how to write more concisely.
  In addition to being able to vote in GRs and for the next DPL, I now
  also look forward to increased involvement with new contributors and
  the mentorship process.  This will require the development of more
  effective teaching strategies, and I am inspired to meet these
  challenges.
